PRECONFERENCE TRAINING

Additional Training—G.R.E.A.T. Families Training

The G.R.E.A.T. Families Training classes in St. Louis, Missouri, are now full. Applications are still being accepted, and applicants will be placed on a waiting list and notified of the next available class.

IMPORTANT: Registering for the conference does NOT register attendees for the G.R.E.A.T. Families Training. You must register separately by following the instructions on the G.R.E.A.T. Web site.

The G.R.E.A.T. Families Training (GFT) is offered to certified, active G.R.E.A.T. officers who want to teach the G.R.E.A.T. Families component. The G.R.E.A.T. Families component is a research-based, family-strengthening program consisting of a six-session family curriculum and a family/community resource guide for G.R.E.A.T. facilitators. By linking a universal family curriculum to specialized family assistance resources, the GFT provides G.R.E.A.T. officers with the basic tools needed to work effectively with families and family-service agencies.

The G.R.E.A.T. Families Training has been scheduled for Monday and Tuesday prior to the conference. For information on how to attend and the online application, please visit our Web site at http://www.great-online.org/Program/GFT.Aspx.

Again you must register separately for the G.R.E.A.T. Families Training. Applying early is the best way to ensure a spot in the training. Registration must be done by application in advance of the training. ON-SITE REGISTRATION WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.
